Hi Clyde,

As I mentioned previously, DeGroot's percentages are all relative to the
amount of tryptophan, not as a percentage of the total diet (from DeGroot
1953).

Threonine 3.0
Valine 4.0
Methionine 1.5
Isoleucine 4.0
Leucine 4.5
Phenylalanine 1.5
Histidine 1.5
Lysine 3.0
Arginine 3.0
Tryptophan 1.0
